We make our greatest societal impact in collaboration with our clients. We are deeply committed to making a difference in helping communities thrive by prioritizing our social impact and sustainability agendas. We seek to drive impact in climate and environment, global development, global health, and education.
Our work is closely aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We have built the business case for climate action, helped reform public health systems, and forged a path to education reform for more than 2 million students in India.
Internally, we are committed to evolving our own business practices to make a difference in society, to protect our planet, and to empower our people.
Our Annual Sustainability Report details the steps we have taken—both through our client work and through the transformation of our own operations—to address important societal and environmental challenges in 2019 and to help shape a brighter future.
BCG on Social Impact
Follow BCG’s latest thinking on social impact to explore how organizations are advancing the SDGs and how the growth of your business can benefit society.
In addition to helping companies make a difference, we are determined to do our part as best we can to build a sustainable and inclusive future.
While we expect to have the biggest climate impact through our client work, we know that we must also walk the talk by reducing the negative impact of our own footprint as quickly as we can. BCG will have a net-zero climate impact by 2030.
Our initial focus will go toward reducing our footprint in line with our reduction targets. To neutralize the climate impact of our remaining footprint, we will remove carbon from the atmosphere by scaling investments in carbon removal projects and technologies. We are committed to continuously reviewing and adjusting our actions to achieve maximum climate impact according to the latest available guidance.
BCG’s Net-Zero Pledge
Our ability to attract and retain the best talent from all backgrounds—to fully reflect the diverse world in which we live and work—is fundamental to our success in helping clients make a difference. We prioritize our people with sustained investments in talent acquisition, learning and development, diversity and inclusion, employee well-being, and safety and security.
When an organization creates an inclusive culture that values diversity, everyone wins.

Countries taking ambitious action against climate change can benefit macroeconomically without suffering an early-mover disadvantage.
Contributing to society cannot be a side activity. Companies that use their core business to address environmental, social, and governance issues can create more value in the long term.
